The Lifestage Health Branch empowers individuals and communities to focus on preventive health throughout the stages of life. Starting with children in schools, to adults in worksites, to older adults and to individuals with disabilities, Lifestage Health promotes good health by emphasizing physical activity and nutrition. This is accomplished by providing technical assistance, managing and supporting evidence-based programs, disseminating materials and resources, and skills-building within the Agency, in schools, at worksites, among partners and with the general public. The mission of the Lifestage Health Branch is the prevention and reduction of obesity through the adoption of healthy eating practices and increased physical activity.

Arkansas Coalition for Obesity Prevention (ArCOP)
The Arkansas Coalition for Obesity Prevention (ArCOP) was formed in 2007 to bring together partners from all across the state to work on solutions to the obesity problem. ArCOP considers that there are a wide range of activities that can ultimately affect obesity. A successful application for a Growing Healthy Communities site may not only address good nutrition and physical activity, but also the transportation system, connectivity, pedestrian safety, sidewalks, bike routes, neighborhood farmer’s markets, community gardens, and access to nutritious foods at school and work. We want to work together to create environments that pave the way for healthier lifestyles. ArCOP wants to help you create a healthier, more viable and livable community.
